+File::Spec - portably perform operations on file names
+
+This module is designed to support operations commonly performed on file
+specifications (usually called "file names", but not to be confused with
+the contents of a file, or Perl's file handles), such as concatenating
+several directory and file names into a single path, or determining whether
+a path is rooted. It is based on code directly taken from MakeMaker 5.17,
+code written by Andreas König, Andy Dougherty, Charles Bailey,
+Ilya Zakharevich, Paul Schinder, and others.
